So after seeing dans thread about tablet PC's I thought I would start my own instead of hijack his.
Also I don't mean to open a can of worms honest.
currently I am torn between the likes of the nexus 7, the iPad or Motorola zoom.
iPad seems a bit pricey IMO though so I'm swaying towards nexus 7.
anyone got any experience with them?
cheers

Nexus 7 if a 7 inch is enough for you (oooh err)
Any larger then I would recommend a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 or Sony Xperia Tablet S (waterproof and full sd card support)

dont get the ipad. youll get much more nag for your buck elsewhere. i have a HP touchpad which was $500 when it was new but they got sued by apple as it looked the same as the ipad so they firesold the 16GB ones at £85 and the 32GB ones for £115. I picked mine up a week after they had all sold and I paid £200.
It came with WebOS which is amazing but i have since put on ICS which is amazing. Android 4+ is definitely the best thing for tablets and I have since put it on my phone too!
A big tablet can be a pain after a while so a 7" one may well be a better option. What id be looking for is USB PORTS, HDMI PORTS, KEYBOARD AND MOUSE COMPATIBILITY and a big internal storage (300MB+). Also 3G is pretty decent to get too.
Only annoying thing about the touchpad is that it doesnt have USB ports, hdmi ports and I cant use a mouse with it. Its a little big but that means the on screen keyboard is touchtype able which will almost certainly be a struggle with a smaller screen! Also remember that if you have a small screen at 1024x768 (or any resolution) its going to have a higher DPI than a larger one which may mean that even though one screen is bigger the smaller screen may be more crisp as there are more pixels per inch!
